I like this photograph, and I generally like this series that you took way back when, of neighbourhood kids. I like the way these kids are so comfortable with the camera, the way they're fooling around and posing for you. There's a very relaxed and honest feel to this photo, even though we know the kid's just mugging for the camera. I also like your awareness of the background, the geomety of the stairs and doorways, and the inclusion of grafitti and the dirt and grime, the few blades of grass trying to sprout up against the wall, all of which tells us a lot about the environment these kids are growing up in. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
